3 October (Part 4) - Cretinous commuter takes advantage of a cretinous Council
BiB readers are coming up with a lot of ideas
on how to deal with WG10 TKX. I’m not sure what is supposed to be done with
sticky tape; obscure the rear number plate perhaps and hope the police pull him over? Shaving foam was another suggestion
along with a user guide but maybe builders’ expanding foam to fill the
engine compartment would be a more memorable solution.
A pile of bird poo is probably not easy to arrange and a well placed nail
might be considered a little over the top. As children we would push a large plug of
potato in pea-shooter fashion (correction:
spud-gun) up exhaust pipes which stopped the engine from running; sugar in the
petrol tank was for the really bad boys.
I’m not too keen on letting tyres down either because when someone did that in the same road
it was me who had to reinflate it.
There are also more serious reasons to leave not very well alone. I’m not personally
affected by this moron without a conscience but if the Micra was damaged I would likely be suspect number one.
But that is not the main reason for taking no action.
If we scare Micra Man away he will eventually be replaced by another cretin and
in the meantime any pressure that can be applied on an utterly useless Bexley
Council will temporarily be ceased. Far better to to tolerate the Micra and show the Council up daily; which is
after all what BiB has always done and Bexley Council must appreciate it or they might not be so keen on providing so much evidence.
As
the first photo shows, there is a mirror image of the same situation opposite and
Bexley Council has been known to take action there. The white van is not quite
encroaching on the dropped kerb which is shared by something like eight
residents so is safe from any PCN but another foot to its right blocking even 5%
of the drive width and it would get a ticket. However blocking 100%
of a drive shared by two people as the Micra driver does is wholly acceptable to a useless Council.
One reader suggested blocking Micra Man in the manner of Blade Runners intent on
frustrating the Mad Mayor. However that cannot work because the space on front
of the Micra is a registered drive and liable to instant ticketing.
Knowing our incompetent and invariably unhelpful Council anyone who squeezed in
behind WG10 TKX would be deemed a drive blocker.
